Hi, and welcome to Jesus Over Everything, a five-day-a-week variety show that mixes encouragement,

the Bible, practical how-toes, and fantastic guests for the listener on the go.

I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, which I trust and pray

will be five minutes well spent.

Happy Friday, and welcome to the Friday five.

Today's topic might have you thinking I'm going to give you some cool motivational tips like you should play some rocky music like Kyle said on Wednesday's show

we never quit per se, our life work of making him known. The things I want to talk to you about

are more than just muscle and grit and determination. They are the five things I believe that

make for a no-quit person in the end.

So five no-quit qualities, here we go. Number one, they take necessary periodic reprieves. People who don't quit are the same people who understand the value of rest.

They're not people who burn the candle at both ends.

They aren't running themselves ragged.

Instead, they are taking stops along the way to ensure long-term endurance.

One of the things I've noticed, even with social media, is if I take breaks along the way,

it causes me less of a chance that I'm going to crash and I'm going to quit indefinitely.

People who want longevity take necessary periodic reprieves. It's a no-quit quality of quality

control, if you will. Number two, they keep their source of strength

Jesus. A no-quit person understands that they will quit at some point if their strength is found
